New cover art created by the amazing Graham Ganson is underway on the first book of my new Rayden Valkyrie duology. I love his work and can't wait to see what he comes up with! Book One is titled Beyond the Gates, Book Two is titled The Light Within. #writerslife

I really enjoyed co-hosting Scott Sigler last week on the Star Chamber Show, and he suggested a really interesting event to collaborate on for a future Imaginarium Convention. What do you think of this? I love the concept! #writingcommunity #podcast

It has gotten bad. We've added a Panel to our Imaginarium 2026 programming focusing on the scammer issue. I've had to help some authors out of some real messes recently due to them. Keep up the good work spotlighting this. It is needed.

Be careful, my creative friends, this week I've helped multiple individuals who have been preyed upon by scammers in the realm of creative services, to an egregious degree. Vet, check testimonials, use references of previous clients. And it is ALWAYS your right to say no to someone pressuring you.

Stephen Zimmer @stephenzimmer7.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

We still have cash. When cash is phased out, and replaced entirely by a fully digital currency, one that is programmable, like a CBDC, it will be an entirely different scenario. It's why I always advocate for people to use cash, support cash, and resist attempts to get rid of it.

000

Stephen Zimmer @stephenzimmer7.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Again, it will be cashless in nature, a digital programmable asset, most likely through the implementation of CBDC's. These are blockchain based, programmable, and very capable of being regulated in how they are spent. No matter what they are sold as initially, it's likely how they will develop.
